So I just created an account because I couldn't find answer to my question, but anyway I'm on this site A LOT.
So I have a question about TWRP Backup and Restore
If I backup my phone with TWRP while it is rooted, will it back up the root access too or no.
Will my phone be rooted after restoring?
Thank you!

Hi,
I forgot to do a NANDROID backup when I use TWRP to flash my GS3 with Cyanogenmod 10.1. . Am I still able to go back to stock rom / unroot? I am planning to sell my phone at the end of this year :crying:.....
yes, you can
Yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613
I have a US Cellular Galaxy Mega I am going to follow the instructions on here for rooting the device. The problem I am having is I want to use TWRP for the recovery and I have been told I need to use the one in the thread first then root then replace it with twrp. My issue is I want to make a Stock Unrooted TWRP backup before I root so I can have it as a fallback. Can I just use TWRP for the root process that way I can make a Stock backup with twrp or am I stuck using philz??
Hello,
So lately I've been have some troubles with my phone and I decided to try and flash with a new ROM and see if that helps.
I've been reading on the forums some of the guides, FAQ, and read about some ROMs but I'm still a bit unsure of the entire process.
Currently using GT-I9300, 4.1.2 OS, stock.
Backup:
1. Do I need to flash a custom recovery tool (CWM/TWRG) to create an image backup? Should I just root with Odin and then use Titanium?
2. Do these backup my EFS partition or should I back that up separately?
3. Do I need to root my phone with Odin to be able to flash custom recovery tool/backup my EFS?
ROM/Kernel flashing:
1. Since I'm a newbie to this and there seems to be a ton of ROM options, could you recommend on a stable CM based 4.3 ROM I could use?
2. I haven't seen a stock 4.4.4 for GT-I9300, is it stable to use?
I'm sorry If I've asked something thousands have asked before, I couldn't find a clear answer in a decent amount of time.
Thanks for the help!

Backup
(1) Titanium only backs up apps and data it does not do a full (Nandroid backup Google it) Root with cf autoroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683 and then flash a custom recovery (choice is yours cwm,Twrp,PhilZ flash with Odin)
(2) Yes some custom recoveries back up efs PhilZ does I think twrp does not sure about cwm ( I don't think it does maybe wrong on that) nandroid backups don't backup your efs do this separately
(3) Technically you don't need root to flash a recovery but if you want to backup anything in recovery then you need to root.You will only need to root your phone once if you are intending to flash custom roms (so that you can backup) because root is included in custom roms.
IMPORTANT! You must backup your efs once you have flashed a custom recovery especially coming from 4.1.2. and keep multiple copies on phone and pc!
Rom/Kernel flashing
(1) We cannot recommend roms it is against XDA rules
(2) Their is no stock 4.4.4 roms last release was 4.3 anything else is a custom/port of 4.4
Thanks for your help, that cleared up a few things.
I ended up using samsung galaxy S3 toolkit (which is amazing btw) to root & load insecure boot image, flash custom recovery img and backup everything on my phone.
I'm now ready to flash my first custom ROM
Again, thanks a bunch
Hi,
how can I make a Nandroid Backup from my Redmi Note 10 sunny?
Is it possible with the TWRP alpha here?
I don't want to root or flash a custom rom.
I had read somewhere there would be problems with restoring backups with TWRP on the redmi note 10.
Is that true?
About those problems, they're real, but this thread may help you:

Cannot find a definite answer anywhere i surfed,.
1.After flashing TWRP Custom Recovery,does one need to root the device first before creating Nandroid Backup or is the rooting condition only necessary when doing restore.
Hoping someone can answer.
